APC Reacts To Defection Of 15 Senators, 36 House Of Reps Members - Edoman - 07-24-2018 @POLITICSNGR Below is a statement made available to PoliticsNGR, signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bolaji Abdullahi, on the recent defection of 15 senators and 36 house of reps members; The All Progressives Congress (APC) notes the development in the National Assembly with the defection of some of our members from the Party. In the last couple of weeks, our Party leaders have worked to stave off this situation as responsible Party leaders would do. It would appear however that the individuals involved have different considerations beyond the grievances that they were willing to discuss and which our leaders were willing to address. As a truly democratic party, we respect the right of every citizen to political association. Therefore, we urge our members to remain calm as we continue to work hard to position our party strongly for the next general elections. APC remains in firm control of 25 states of the 36 states of the federation and maintains a clear majority in the federal House of Representatives and state assemblies. We assure members and supporters that our great Party will continue to consolidate on our majority status in the leadup to the 2019 General Elections, even as our government continue to work hard to deliver on our promises to Nigerians. https://politicsngr.com/breaking-apc-reacts-defection-15-senators-36-house-reps-members/ RE: APC Reacts To Defection Of 15 Senators, 36 House Of Reps Members - Edoman - 07-30-2018 Defection: God has removed stones from our rice, sand from our gari —Lai Mohammed The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has described the defection of some National Assembly members from the ruling All Progressives Congress as “the removal of stones from (the party’s) rice” and sieving of “sand from [its] gari (cassava meal).” He added that the defection to opposition parties had “exposed the faces of traitors.” Today is a special day. God has answered our prayers by exposing our political traitors. “God has removed stones from our rice and sands in our gari,” Mohammed, who addressed the rally in Yoruba language, said. He assured that the defection would have no significant negative effect on the party; instead, he said, it would offer an opportunity for its re-positioning. We are here today to assure that it is a new dispensation in Kwara APC politics. We are at home today to assure you that the party will be re-organised and re-positioned. “By exposing the enemies and traitors in our fold, God has given us the opportunities that we have been looking for to re-position our party. “These are people who had never given us peace and progress. Today, by the grace of God and with your support, APC will wax stronger in Kwara. What is in the offing is a mega party,” he said. Mohammed said they were prepared to take the party structure back and give it back to the people. “The party belongs to you all. We therefore reassure you that God is with us and the people of Kwara are with us. “Since the day they decamped, you can see those who have come to our camp are more than those who left,” he said. https://punchng.com/defection-god-has-removed-stones-from-our-rice-sands-from-our-gari-lai-mohammed/ RE: APC Reacts To Defection Of 15 Senators, 36 House Of Reps Members - Edoman - 07-30-2018 Quote:APC asks Saraki-led appointees from Kwara to resign or be sacked https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/07/apc-crisis-fg-directs-saraki-led-appointees-from-kwara-to-resign-or-be-sacked/ RE: APC Reacts To Defection Of 15 Senators, 36 House Of Reps Members - Edoman - 08-01-2018 By Femi Bolaji JALINGO— Deputy Senate Minority Leader, representing Taraba South on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Emmanuel Bwacha, has said All Progressives Congress, APC, is only comforting itself by saying the mass defection of its members in the National Assembly will not affect APC’s chances in the 2019 general elections. Bwacha Bwacha, who spoke in Jalingo while fielding questions from journalists, explained that the recent development was a process of transformation, that was gradually altering the power of cohesion in both chambers. He said: “In 2014, when members of PDP moved to APC, we said they are inconsequential, downgrading the leaders who are actually powerful individuals in their respective places. “These leaving APC are leaders elected by people in their various places and cannot be written off. They (APC) are only saying this to comfort themselves, so others will not be demoralised.” Bwacha said he has been receiving congratulatory messages from people addressing him as Deputy Majority Leader.
